Kaz [AKA "Master Miller"].

If you see the trailer, they show that his whole right arm and part of his left leg are missing. If you pause at just the right point, @2:25, you can tell that his left leg has less mass than the right. It's a prosthetic.

You never know, it could very well be an homage. :)

This digital painting reminded me of something....

An art school friend of mine does digital paintings in a *very* similar style. The strokes, lighting, shading, it's all very similar. However this is much more successful. The reason this is more successful than my friends? This artist got the anatomy down!

BRB! Gotta…

The last time I've seen such a thing? Probably more than a few times. It's totally unremarkable, and for what we know of Kojima, not new. [Remember the "documentary" style video they released when Rising changed developers? LOL!] You and yours don't see it that way because you're clinging to this crazy hope that…

Why does it make "little sense" for Arad to mention it in passing?

And that's a big difference: Joakim Mogren was never a real person, the whole thing was goofy, everyone knew it was a big joke seconds after the trailer aired, and Keighley's big dopey smile during that "interview" made it apparent.

What does Arad mentioning that have to do with anything, besides Hayter not being it anymore?

And "Ishmael" does sound like Keifer, but I think that's part of the surprise. Big Boss sounds like Keifer also in the GCD gameplay demo.

Anyways, Geoff Keighley did an interview with Kojima. It's pretty much confirmed: http://w…

Exactly. The whole thing reeks of desperation. It's crazy how quickly after the announcement these theories began to circulate, too. It's like they went into instant denial.

Hayter's been saying it for a while, Kojima Productions never called him for any role. The rest of his vague tweets? Trolling.

But no. Instead of…

I'm glad he's finally been removed from his role as Big Boss. It's been breaking the immersion for me since I heard him speak as Naked Snake in Snake Eater. It was just off. Nothing ['cept for raging fanboys, the likes of which are now releasing the butthurtz all across the internetz] justified it. If Big Boss was to…

Akihiko Yoshida. His stuff is great!

Not exactly well received on Gametrailers, from the looks of the video rating. Also from comparing the number of views [32,500+] to the number of total ratings [49], I feel safe assuming that most people tuned out so quickly that they didn't even care to rate.

Can we just be done with Hayter as Big Boss already? There's no reason for it.

1] Solidus, the perfect clone of Big Boss, did not sound anyting like Hayter-Big Boss.
2] Solid, one of two imperfect replicas of Big Boss, wasn't raised by Big Boss. So there isn't anything based on either nature or nurture that would…

Less and less men, apparently.

That's why we've got people like Joe here, vomiting out these attempts at shaming us into conforming. LOLz! I'm glad more men are wising up, though. If it keeps up, we'll do what the "grass eaters" are doing to Japan. :D

You could do what I did and spend a weekend reading through the BlazBlue wikia. XD

...seriously though, don't. I'm already beyond helping, but you....there's still hope for you! >_>

Gods...I hated that fucking "guide". I bought FF IX with my *first* paycheck. I was 15 years old and working at this Chinese restaurant where the boss was a freaking slave driver. The $16 of my hard earned money I shelled out for that guide still pisses me off to this day.

[For anyone unfamiliar, imagine reading…

*Sigh*...

Well, it's a good thing I have a nice stack of backlogged games. If Sony pulls the same kind of BS with the PS4, I won't be jumping to the next gen. I'm not buying trash I won't technically own and won't be able to do with as I wish. Whether that be taking it over to a friend's place, letting a friend borrow…

HHAHAHAHA! OMG, that was great! I was literally laughing out loud! XD

Yeah. The perspective on [what I'm assuming is] the magazine, at the rear of the guitar, is a bit jacked up.

Definitely a dude. When I saw this image before reading the article, I thought it was just another of those gender-switching, "what if?" fan art thingies.

I'm with Penn Jillette on the topic of "violence" in videogames.

Those dogs without faces scare the hell out of me. I'd have a heart attack if I saw a pair of those running in my direction. KEEP THEM AWAY!
